Monday, August 12, 2013 Nightlife Guide

Monday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Monday nights welcome an exciting venture for those who love the nightlife and the beauty of Rio de Janeiro. Rio Boat Club is the first weekly boat party that docks from Marina da Glória and takes attendees across the Guanabara Bay while partying the night away to DJs and live acts. Set on the two-story Mozart Boat, visitors and locals get a taste of Rio on the high seas.

The boat can hold up to 150 passengers and literally transforms into a floating nightclub. It is equipped with a full bar, bathrooms, sound system, and lighting. DJ Andrew Gracie is the resident DJ, playing house, disco, and funk. There is plenty of room to dance, just be sure you bring your sea legs.
